Sell them

If you think logically it's a soft sport you can only get in Thailand, ove played badminton in the UK for 40 years, how can you explain and reason why you need to do this in Thailand for 5 years, that's their question and of course there is no answer, think logically and you will be successful, imagine you are them questioning the applicant!

A certificate is a certification in this case of your job, just have HR write up a certificate with every detail on it 😀

@Graham ******

there was a law in France at the point of purchase that capital gains tax was only due on a sliding scale until 15 years, let's see about that now we're not in the EU, France love their tax and the Notaire is basically a government tax collector lol 😉

@Graham ******

graham, Firstly don't be rude. I'm applying for a DTV and I've read the tax treaty between Thailand and England to understand enough and to keep my home residence, I understand where I'm liable for tax and what to bring into Thailand. I've also owned a home in France for many years, I stay linked to my home country and pay taxes there, there are benefits and protection in doing that. I don't Think I know everythinglike some, I'm entitled to share and happy to learn more.

However, you only pay tax due to Thailand, if your home or residence is in another country and there is a double tax treaty then you remain liable in your home country, that doesn't mean you don't have to file a thai tax return. What it means is you pay tax where you earn the money. Your birth country of residence takes precedence. If your a nomad living in Thailand or residing in Thailand and have cut ties with your home country, then Thailand takes precedence. You have to pay tax somewhere (unless a tax free haven) and tax in Thailand is probably lower. Likewise living in Thailand, but still registered in another country does not mean you don't have to pay taxes in that country or file a return. This maybe where Thailand have been clever with the DTV and the questions/proof required.

Read read and keep reading so you educate yourself

@Manuel ********

thanks appreciate the info, I'll deffo check on the reporting, I like to stay within any visa rules.

@Manuel ********

thanks I guess my IQ is low I don't read Thai lol

@Manuel ********

so if it's not documented or mentioned at point of application and your not aware of that law, how would someone know about the reporting! I haven't read anyone who has obtained one say that they have been told to report. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. Guess it humours some.
